According to a new report from TripAdvisor, Seattle ranks No. 6 for pizza across the entire United States. Which is strange because Seattle isn't exactly a pizza town.

Don't get me wrong: we have good pizza. The TripAdvisor ranking calls out Serious Pie as the top-rated pizza place in the city, no doubt joined by some of the many other Seattle pizza offerings, like Pagliacci, Mario's, Patxi's, Il Tribunali, Flying Squirrel, and more.

The thing is, we don't really have our own type of pizza culture. Our crusts vary, so we don't have a particular fold like, say, New Yorkers. Our pizza proclivities don't dip deep enough to jump on Chicago style very often, and we have neither the history nor the assertiveness to claim that we've perfected pizza like those from Connecticut.

But while those two of those take up the top spots in TripAdvisor's list (sorry New Haven folks), the rest is generally an assortment of towns you wouldn't exactly expect as "pizza towns." Like San Francisco (No. 4) and Las Vegas (No. 3).

The rankings took into account review by TripAdvisor users, along with the quality and quantity of those reviews.

Perhaps what Seattle and these other top cities have going for themselves is sheer diversity; without any sort of natural inclination, we aren't anchored to just one type of pizza. You can head to Windy City Pie to pick up some deep dish, or you can jump over to Mario's to get a New York style.

To show the diversity of exactly what kind of pizza Seattleites typically turn to, we asked readers to share what they felt made pizza good. You can click through the slideshow at the top of the article to get a sense of their answers.

The sheer range of answers -- must not have a thin crust, must have a crust so thin it cracks, no meat, all meat, openly calling out New York-style -- shows that Seattle isn't really sure what kind of pizza we like best.

At least we have options.
